According to the historical records of the Lantern Corps, the first Lantern, Volthoom, was born on parallel Earth-15. He and his mother discovered and studied the power of the Emotional Spectrum, and used it to create a travel lantern that could traverse the multiverse.
At this time, an unknown alien race invaded their home Planet, their civilization was destroyed, and Volthoom's mother died in the war.
Volthoom then used the travel lantern to escape his Universe.
To find a way to restore his World and resurrect his mother, Volthoom began traveling between various parallel Universes, trying to find such a method.
Each parallel Universe had its own way of utilizing the Emotional Spectrum, but Volthoom found that most of those methods were not what he needed, until he arrived at Earth-3.
He met a wizard named "Mordru" and collaborated with him to create a ring, which was the "Ring of Volthoom," also known as the "Power Ring," the Supreme Power Ring, and the original version of all subsequent Power Rings.
The reason this Power Ring became a magic ring capable of controlling its host was that the ring itself possessed a remnant soul and consciousness, meaning it was owned from the start.
Therefore, those who wore the Power Ring afterward were essentially only using the power possessed by the true owner of the Power Ring; that power never belonged to them from the beginning.
At the moment the Quantum Ontology Bomb exploded, the physical body of the Ring of Volthoom was completely destroyed, and the energy it had accumulated over countless years also vanished in the explosion that bombed OA. All that remained was this remnant soul belonging to Volthoom and a tiny bit of the Emotional Spectrum's power still preserved on it.
This was of immense value to Dane in his research into this "Power of All Beings."
After carefully putting away Volthoom's remnant soul, he raised his hand and grabbed again. A yellow light flew over from the sky, transforming into a ring between his two fingers—that was Sinestro's Power Ring.
"I think this belongs to you." He returned the Power Ring to Sinestro.
In any parallel World, Sinestro and the yellow ring mutually achieved each other; they belonged only to each other.
At the moment of the explosion, Dane had already summoned another yellow ring here through the mutual connection between the two rings, which is why this ring could remain intact as it was now.
Sinestro took the Power Ring, put it back on his hand, and the yellow battle suit reappeared on his body.
"Don't lose it again," Dane reminded him.
Sinestro nodded heavily.
"Very good. Since you have arrived in Hell, you should know that you are not here for pleasure. The souls in Hell are Sinners, and everyone should atone for their actions in life."
Charlie stood by, quietly perking up her ears.
She was very interested in the topic of "atonement"!
Sinestro was stunned for a moment. Please forgive him, aliens didn't quite understand the custom of atonement after death; usually, they did such things when they were alive.
But he quickly adapted to his role and nodded at Dane.
"No problem, I am willing to accept all punishments and tortures..."
He didn't quite understand how atonement actually worked.
Dane nodded in satisfaction. He gestured for Sinestro to look at the entire Pentagram City, where a continuous "demon rain" was still falling.
Those who arrived here included not only the original Power Rings but also some slaves and serious offenders who had once served on OA.
Basically, everyone who could come here was a person with serious crimes; souls with insufficient sins could not enter this land of sin. As for where they went?
Dane sincerely hoped they could go to Heaven, it just depended on whether those Angels were willing to accept these aliens.
Logically speaking, aren't aliens also children of God?
Dane said to Sinestro: "These Power Rings were all brought in by you; you have to take responsibility for managing them..."
When Dane said this, the other accompanying demons around them all looked at Sinestro with horror.
Even Lucifer gave him a sidelong glance. He had seen many who committed massacres, but such a quantity could not be achieved without sacrificing an entire Planet.
It was impressive that Sinestro could do such a major thing without changing his expression... Lucifer expressed his admiration!
Dane continued to instruct: "From now on, these Sinners will be under your jurisdiction. I have formulated some rules, which I will give you shortly. You must strictly restrain them according to the rules..."
He glanced at Charlie beside him and added, "If possible, it would be best if they could recognize their mistakes and atone for their previous actions."
These words deeply resonated with Charlie. She nodded vigorously, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked at Sinestro.
Sinestro hesitated but did not voice any objections. He actually wanted to say that these people basically had no remorse, and doing this kind of thing would mostly be a waste of effort.
But he noticed that Shazam didn't seem to care whether it succeeded, but the girl beside him seemed to care more.
He could only nod solemnly, indicating that he would take this matter to heart.
Charlie was so happy that she couldn't help but want to sing a song. Fortunately, her girlfriend Vicki quickly held her back.
What was she trying to do, singing in such a serious environment? Was she trying to make things awkward for herself?
While Dane and Sinestro were talking, the "demon rain" in the sky had also come to an end. When the last Sinner Demon landed, the Pentagram City's light extinguished as if exhausted.
And on the ground, those who had just arrived in this Hell were trying to adapt to the environment here... and their new appearances.
Every Sinner who came to Hell would automatically generate a new appearance based on their soul characteristics and the sins they committed in life.
Like Vicki's gray skin and Angel's spider body, these new appearances integrated their past experiences and soul characteristics. These new appearances were not just appearances; sometimes they would also grant them some superpower-like abilities.
Vicki was covered in weapons, though it wasn't visible from her appearance.
As for Angel, his hands could be hidden, and not just his hands. Considering that his true form was a spider, he likely also had the ability to weave webs.
